Subject: [PATCH] perf: Optimize dicomio.Reader primitive reads

Replaced `binary.Read` (which uses reflection) with `io.ReadFull` and direct `binary.ByteOrder` calls for primitive types (`uint8`, `uint16`, `uint32`, `int16`, `int32`, `float32`, `float64`).

This reduces CPU overhead and memory allocations in hot paths of DICOM parsing.

Benchmarks showed significant improvement (e.g., ReadUInt16 from ~58ns to ~39ns).
